We teamed up with session beer zealots Notch Brewing to bolster the foundation of Trillium's lager brewing aspirations. The Notch team has planted a flag in the art of brewing session styles from Europe, while also experimenting with how to introduce American, hop forward flavors into these classic styles. We were honored to be asked to participate in Notch's Guest Brewer initiative and we jumped at the chance to ratchet up our lager pilot brewing efforts with the experienced crew in Salem. The result: "I Predict A Riot" an American Pale Lager that marries a soft Citra hop centric aroma and flavor on top of a satisfying lager backbone.

I Predict A Riot American Pale Lager presents a slightly hazy, deep golden hue. An inviting nose leads with citrus, slight floral aromas, stone fruit, and honeysuckle. Soft bitterness, light earthy malt, mild citrus flesh, and a subtle honey richness rounds out a well-balanced palate. We love this beer and hope you do too! Read Less

Brought to life using a lager yeast strain, this beer is a sensory pounder. Ignoring the idea of a traditional lager balance, Guest Lager hops the line and intentionally scales the flavors tied to the ale spectrum. This 8% ABV style bender wrangles an impressive canon of flavor into one place. Did we mention hops? This particular lager hosts enough Nelson Sauvin & Falconer's Flight to soothe any weary traveler.

Carton and Barrier brewed this bright, clean liquid gold to take this brutal summer across the finish line and kick off the glorious start of locals' summer. One golden malt, one golden hop, and the lager yeast of the Golden State fermented fast and warm to give pineapple aromatics to the star fruit, papaya, peach and citrus of heaps of 007: The Golden Hop throughout the brew.

The hardest part about making new and exciting hoppy beers is sourcing the hops you need. Most hops are bought under contracts which are signed two or three years in advance. We occasionally get opportunities to acquire small quantities of specialty hops that are enough for one batch of beer, but no more. This beer allows us to feature hops that we would otherwise not be able to make use of. Read Less

Permutation is our experimental series of small batch offerings, showcasing the unique visions and innovative concepts developed by our production crew.

Permutation Number 18 is our first take on a Lager, but with a Trillium spin: a heavy Citra dry hop. Mango on the nose and palate complemented by a creamy smooth mouthfeel, flavors of pina colada and a subtle mango pulp. Hazier than your typical lager but still light & drinkable at 5.5% ABV. We brewed Permutation Number 18 with sweltering New England summer days in mind. Read Less

Permutation is our experimental series of small batch offerings, showcasing the unique visions and innovative concepts developed by our brewing and cellar crew.

For this edition we present a continued experimentation in creating a Lager with a distinctive Trillium feel. Permutation Number 41 presents a color of yellow straw with moderate haze and a thick, billowing white head. Lemon, candied white peach, and clementine leap from the glass to the nose with faint, enticing aromas of fresh cut hay. Flavors of meyer lemon bars and orange zest are gracefully balanced against the crackery pilsner malt backbone with a hint of lager yeast sweetness. A rounded, slightly pithy bite offers a refreshing, crisp finish. Read Less

One of our favorite styles of beer is the Pilsener Style. The subtle sulfides and nuanced malt characters framed by a balance hop profile seems to awaken the senses. We crafted our pale lager after a more Bohemian Style while pushing the Original Gravity to fall more in a Mai Bock style without filtration it would be a Keller bier or Cellar Beer! ..Somehow many of our beers never seem to quite fit a mold in the style guidelines thus their personality shows as well as the barrel aging in French Oak-Chardonnay for 1 to 2 months. We produced several batches of this beer utilizing several different lager yeast strains fermented at 55 F, aged at 58 F and thus final alcohols very from 6.6% to 7.6% v/v depending on the lot. The barley is 100% micro Malted Scarlet from Alamosa Colorado at 7500 feet elevation, while the hops are Organic Glacier and grown locally in Clear Lake, California. Read Less

Exploration of the cosmic intensity of the great Northwest dictates that we explore the oneness of malt and hops with this pale lager. Made with our great friends and fellow lager stewards at Seattle's Holy Mountain Brewing, this beer exhibits the Washington-grown barley and wheat, paired with Yakima Valley Comet and Cascade hops. It is the best expression that our 2 breweries could hope to offer, teeming with bright citrus zest, green grass and dry effervescence. Read Less
